sounds like convertor plugged up .you can have that tested if you know some one with a infared temp tester.After car is warmed up the temp should be hotter at outlet than at inlet.A bad 02 sensor can cause this also

scan forcodes and check fuel pressure with a gauge first. in US converters are covered under warranty until 80k. also check intake vacuum if 15" or below at idle suspect a clogged converter.
